The deadline for applications is Monday 23 March 2026. Interviews will likely take place in the weeks commencing 11 or 18 May 2026. About you Successful candidates will be expected to engage in world leading research, and to contribute to UCL’s development and advancement of an interdisciplinary approach to EU Law / Public International Law and political science and other areas of law falling within their subject matter expertise.
